I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.
I'm trying to put together the parts to upgrade my car a bit. Nothing too crazy, kinda going with some of the basic suggestions that many here make for new owners on a budget haha.
4.10 swap, possibly a higher stall, headers and exhaust, and a tune.
The problem is I seem to hit a wall every time I turn around. I ordered a complete set from Stainless Works (hopefully no issues there, although I haven't received any confirmation from them yet).
As for the gears and tune, I figured I should maybe try to kill two birds with one stone. I contacted a vendor that is spoken of very highly here, but apparently they do not sell parts or a tune if the customer doesn't bring the car to them for install. Fair enough, but I guess I was mistakenly under the impression that you could do just that. I understand that a hands-on tune would be more effective than a canned baseline type, but bringing my car to one of these mentioned shops just isn't an option for me.
Another vendor (also mentioned here) has the gears/install kit/etc, but when I went to the online checkout, paypal was my only payment option (not an option for me).
I'm apparently a knucklehead when searching online for parts, and these were some of the only sources where I could find what I need.
Frustrated, I come to you members. Could anyone share some leads on where I can get these things through an online order?
Tips, tricks, part numbers, anything is welcome.
